Explanation
This ordinance is to authorize the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with McDaniel’s Construction Corp., Inc. for the King Arts Complex 2020 HVAC Improvements.
Background: The King Arts Complex is a unique culture and arts institution which is comprised of the Barbara Nichols Theater, a second floor educational wing, and the historically significant Pythian Theater which was rehabilitated in 1987 and expanded in 1989 to include the old Garfield Elementary School. Located in the King Lincoln District, the King Arts Complex is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Maintenance and improvements to this facility helps prolong the life and usability of the center for future generations to utilize and enjoy.
Construction is expected early this summer and is anticipated to be complete in the fall of 2020, prior to scheduled programming of the Center. Funds remaining for the King Arts HVAC 2020 project are being requested as contingency that will be used to replace aging equipment that was not originally included in the base bid. This equipment was not included in the base bids due to cost uncertainty and risk associated with replacing the equipment prior to starting base bid construction. Scope and budget for replacing this equipment can be better defined once construction stars.
